Airline and travel rewards credit cards remain some of the most
popular cards for consumers. (I personally prefer the flexibility
of cash back cards, but for frequent air travelers accumulating
miles/points makes a lot of financial sense.)

Here are a few of Outlaw's featured airline credit card deals and bonuses for the month
of April:

Chase Sapphire Preferred -- New cardholders "earn 40,000
bonus points after you spend $3,000 in the first 3 months -
that's $500 toward travel rewards!" You can book flights using
those points right within Chase's easy-to-use Ultimate Rewards
web site. Additionally, you'll "get 20% off airfare, hotels, car
rentals and cruises when you book through Ultimate Rewards," and
the card has no foreign transaction fees, making it an ideal
choice for those who shop or travel overseas frequently.

Miles by Discover Card -- New Miles by Discover
cardholders "earn up to $120 in travel rewards--1,000 Bonus miles
every month you make a purchase for the first year," plus this
card offers 0% Intro APR on purchases and balance transfers for 6
months and has no annual fee. This is a great option for those
who want to accumulate air miles, without being tied to any one
particular airline's reward program. Click here to apply, compare,
or review offer details.

Southwest's Credit Card -- The new Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards Plus
Credit Card remains a favorite among Outlaw's readers
and is a five-star editor's pick. The current bonus offer
includes a "free flight" (roundtrip domestic) after your first
eligible purchase using the new card. Click here to apply,
compare, or review offer details.

United's Credit Card -- The United MileagePlus Explorer
is another strong offer, and cardholders can earn up to 40,000
bonus miles. The credit card's $95 annual fee is waived for the
first year. This is an excellent choice for those who primarily
fly on United Airlines flights. You'll earn 2 miles per $1 spent
on airline tickets purchased from United and 1 mile per $1 for
everything else. Click here to apply,

with Outlaw, I still play an advisory role there.
Every month I post an updated list of recommended card deals and
bank sign-up promotions.)
